The term traumatic glaucoma represents the state of an eye, which due to an injury perse, or subsequent reparative processes, has a chronically elevated IOP, incompatible with the normal functioning of the optic nerve. If a blunt trauma occurs to the eye, the force can be transferred to all of the structures in the eye. When the ciliary body is damaged, there may be an angle recession, and hyphema, the blood in the chamber may cause an extreme increase in the IOP. Penetrating injuries can also cause glaucoma. There are several mechanisms that can cause glaucoma after this type of injury. The chemical, radiation, and electrical trauma can also cause elevated intraocular pressure.
